How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

An audacious joyride that treats a charity mission as divine mandate, crashing through Chicago with escalating ridiculousness, killer live music, and genuinely joyful pratfalls. It's a concert film, a buddy comedy, and a gleeful exercise in vehicular chaos all at once.
